Nearshore Forum: Ego, Strategy and the Future of Recruitment

Nearshore’s tech industry is, like the rest of the globe, undergoing a period of serious pressure. A lack of talent during a glut of demand is pushing companies to dives deeper into previously uncharted waters to dredge up professionals with the skills they need. Salaries are skyrocketing and recruiters are having a very hard time.

Nearshore Americas chatted to Bernardo Carvalho Wertheim, CEO and Chief Happiness Officer at The Bridge Social, to hear his insights about making a startup a success during challenging times.
